Chapter 1026: The down-and-out nobles of the sub-frontier (3)
When she arrived at the station, Ye Jielin saw someone who surprised her, it was Gabriel. According to Ye Jielin's thinking, Gabriel, who was demoted to become an ordinary secretary, because of his status as the former secretary-general, there are many times when there is no communication within the family.
He rashly let her leave the complete range. Because she knew a lot of things, the secret intelligence information about the Webley family in her head could allow her to gain great benefits from the outside world in a very short period of time.
Moreover, the department in charge of the assessment of knight attendants is not the organization where Gabriel is located. They are two completely different functions. Gabriel has no reason to come here.
Seeing Gabri in the crowd, Ye Jielin could clearly feel that she was indeed one of the main persons in charge of the assessment.
"Although you didn't show it, I think you will be surprised. Why am I here? Is that so?" The first sentence they met made Ye Jielin not want to say a word. Sure enough, Gabriel and
Nothing has changed from the way it was before.
Gabri made a very accurate guess about what Ye Jielin was thinking. He turned around and asked everyone to get ready to board the airship. Then he came to Ye Jielin: "It's all good news. What aspects do you want to hear first?"
Yes, I have enough time to answer it for you."
"Of course, I want to say thank you before that. If it weren't for you, I would still be in the family and wouldn't have the chance to come here. Although I feel like you owe me more.
." Gabriel led the way, "Would you like to eat first? We, Webley, are the only ones stationed here, and the other families left very early."
"Just to wait for me? That's really an honor." Ye Jielin said flatly, "My family didn't list me as a deceased person, I think that's enough to thank them."
"Don't say that, it is indeed their honor, and,,," Gabrielle smiled, but the smile disappeared the next moment. She squinted her eyes, making her pretty face look full of doubts, and then it changed
It became an expression of instant understanding, "You don't know?"
Ye Jielin did not answer, and stopped in the passage to the cafeteria with Gabriel. Here, some discussion sounds could be heard from the cafeteria hall in front.
"So that's it. There is indeed no restriction on this situation in the rules of the knight's squire assessment." Gabri looked at Ye Jielin and said, nodding with understanding, "You really gave the family a huge surprise.
You know, when the assessment was over and the family received the news that Ali Tor had not obtained the quota, they were very disappointed. After all, a lot of resources had been invested in him, as well as the team that assisted him. But still
It's a bit lacking, compared with those who actually obtained the quota. The turning point occurred three days after the assessment ended, when the Imperial Council announced the list of thirty-six people who had obtained the quota."
"Now it's clear why I want to thank you. For a long time from now on, I will be your full-time secretary to help you deal with some things. I thought you knew it very well, but I didn't expect it to be like this. But the process has already happened
It doesn’t matter anymore. All the senior members of the family want are results. In their eyes, the quota is much more important than how you get it. This is the first good news. Not long ago, this was just a matter of course."
"Cassia?" Ye Jielin figured out the reason instantly and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been staying in the fringe area not long after the thirty-six ferocious creatures were released. She was absolutely guaranteed a quota.
It couldn't be obtained by hunting ferocious creatures. The only explanation is Cassia. Since he can obtain the quota, it is impossible for Cassia not to be among the thirty-six quotas.
"But in this case, maybe I have to take back what I just said about 'it's all good news.'" Gabriel thought for a while before saying, she thought it was necessary to tell Ye Jielin some important information, "Cassia is not here
Within the quota, as for where he is now, there will be a result soon when he returns to the empire."
Looking at Ye Jielin's doubtful eyes, Gabriel shook his head and continued walking forward: "Don't look at me like this, I don't know why. But after you return to the empire, you can go find him in person and ask. He himself is sure
It's much clearer than I guessed. At that time, the detailed report on the assessment also came out. With your status after being promoted, if you pass the report, it will be clear why he is not among the quotas."
"By the way, compared to this good news, what I actually want to tell you is that because you have obtained the qualification of a knight's attendant, the ban on the dozen airships restricted by your family has been lifted. They have become you again.
personal belongings.”
Within ten seconds after entering the cafeteria, the sound of discussion gradually disappeared, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Jielin. Without paying attention, Ye Jielin glanced around, followed Gabri to get the food, and found a
Sit down.
"Rear left, the man with a broken left arm." Gabri was eating and drawing on the table between the two of them with his hands, "Alitor, I heard that he was only one step away from the other assessors.
We grabbed it and cut off one of his hands. But this does not prevent the family from knowing that he has the ability to hunt ferocious creatures, but it is still just a little bit behind."
Ye Jielin nodded politely, and Gabri could see what she was thinking: "This is not like you, but there is no use in rushing. No matter how you compress time, communication can only be done when you leave the range of the tundra.
Connect smoothly with the interior of the empire."
,,,,,,
"Run away! He ate so much and could run so fast. What a weirdo." The man in oil-stained clothes pushed open the wooden door and looked at the piles of food on the table in a corner of the restaurant amid the sound of "clang".
There was a vicious feeling on the plate, "He eats meat without spitting out the bones. Was he born from a dog?"
"You have been waiting there the whole time, and you must have fallen asleep again. There were not many guests today, and this meal has cost us all." Another woman about the same age as the man said reproachfully.
I am starting to clear away the pile of empty and full plates. As the man said, there are indeed no bones left.
"How do I know!" The man looked furious, "The moment I lowered my head, when I raised my head, he was gone. It doesn't matter if the man didn't spit out the bones, did he swallow the bones alive? It's like a ghost, a little bit.
There’s no sound!”
"Don't let me meet him next time!" The man turned around and walked to the counter. He glanced at the middle-aged boss who was leaning there and smoking leisurely. He bent over and took out the double-barreled shotgun that had been placed there, and then took another box.
Bullet, "If I see him again, I promise to throw his body into the underground sewer!"
"How could someone else come back if they are not as stupid as you?" The woman sighed, shook her head and stopped talking.
"I went to see Abbott. He is in charge of this place. We pay money every month. He can't just do nothing!"
"Forget it, you will only pay more if you go." But it was the middle-aged boss who said, "This situation is pretty good. Half of this area borders other countries. When you didn't come to the store,
There are often some mercenaries who not only refuse to pay me for food, but also demand money from me because the food is not in taste. I have seen it many times. At most, next time we will collect the money first and then serve the food."
The middle-aged boss put out the cigarette butt: "Don't look for Abbott, he is more terrifying than a mercenary. His appetite is even bigger than the man just now." After saying that, he shook his head and took the
I picked up the bill, made a few strokes, and sighed.
At the same time, a young man wearing ill-fitting clothes was walking on a slightly empty street, aimlessly, not knowing where he should go next. His hunger was resolved, but he didn't seem to eat.
He was full. He had been wondering why there were no wild creatures around him. It was not a wilderness, it was not white, and there was no snow. It was all buildings that looked neither new nor old.
None of the books he read introduced these things, and the young man didn't know how to deal with this situation. At this time, he stopped and seemed to be thinking about something. There was a scream from the corner in front, and the young man caught it
I heard the voice and looked over. My legs moved towards it unconsciously. I don't know if it was instinct, but it was more likely because I didn't know what to do at the moment, so I just chose to go there and take a look.
In the alleyway, five people were beating up the two people lying on the ground. Their faces were covered in blood, and their clothes were torn on the rough ground. It lasted for less than half a minute, and the five people stopped and allowed them to lie on the ground.
The two of them had some breathing time.
"I must pay it all next week, I must, I must," a man struggled to kneel down, took out a neat pile of things from his pocket with trembling hands, raised them up, and still begged for mercy, but with a
A flattering smile.
"Okay, next week, remember." One of the five people grabbed the pile of things, counted them, and put them in his pocket. The young man stood by the alley and recognized the pile of things at a glance.
They were imperial holy coins. In a small restaurant just now, he remembered that other people would go to the counter to leave these things after eating, more or less. Some content in the book has introduced that this is called paying the bill.
But I didn't have these things on me at that time, so I just left.
This is not good. The young man thought about it, and the book also said so. But he didn't know how to get the money. The situation in front of him made him think: "Is this the transaction mentioned in the book?" Because the ground was covered with paper.
The two people who were beaten did not seem to be dissatisfied at all. As described in the book, trading was an activity that satisfied both parties. The exchanged items could be anything, and money was just one of the common ones.
As if he had thought this through, the young man clenched his fists and walked into the alleyway. Soon after, screams came from inside, but they were quickly replaced by words of "satisfaction" like begging for mercy.
